i suspect you have to clear the busy bit in the pagefault handler
itself. The CPU marks it as busy upon fault. I guess it would be OK to
just do the above __set_tss_desc() for _every_ pagefault, that too will
clear the busy bit, but you are probably better off just clearing that
bit manually:
cpu_gdt_table[cpu][GDT_ENTRY_TSS].b &= 0xfffffdff;
